The scope of the noncontact scanning force microscopy technique concerning the analysis of fragile and weakly attached samples is shown by proving its ability to investigate the water-graphite interface. After a macroscopic quantity of purified water has been shacked out from the graphite surface, a noncontact image taken in air at a relative humidity value of 60% reveals nanodroplets attached to the steps. In a high relative humidity atmosphere (>90%), water adsorbs on the surface forming flat rounded islands of 5 nm in height that transform to 2 nm high islands when the relative humidity stabilizes to 90%. This process is induced by the presence of the scanning tip. Desorption of the water present on the surface is achieved after the exposure of the sample to a dry atmosphere for several hours. The adsorption-desorption cycle is reversible.
